Pet care experience

Auntie Kara’s Pet Retreat

I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by animals, from dogs and cats to just about every creature you’d find on a ranch. That upbringing gave me a natural understanding of different personalities and needs, and a deep love for them all. I’m comfortable caring for pets who need extra attention, whether that’s administering medication, supporting a disability, or helping a shy or nervous animal feel safe. My gentle, quiet nature helps animals relax and settle in, so they can truly feel at home while you’re away.

Doggy Day Care • Juli 12, 2026

We were traveling to Waterton National Park of Canada by way of Coeur d’Alene. We wanted a place to leave our sweet pup Georgie to allow for flexibility with our friends. I cannot tell you how happy we were to have found Kara. I could tell the minute I walked in the door that Georgie would be a happy camper. On day two she ran to the front door and couldn’t wait to get in the house. We will definitely use Aunty Kara if we’re ever traveling in this area again. I highly recommend her.

Doggy Day Care • Juni 28, 2026

Kara was great! My little dog was in safe hands. She walked him and fed him his lunch. We needed someone to take care of him for 2 days and when we returned for the 2nd day's sitting our dog didn't have any trouble being left for a 2nd time. Kara also communicated with us and sent photos. She's very friendly and ready to answer questions.
